Spring Creek Municipal Transformer Station Project

Niagara Peninsula Energy Inc. (NPEI) is proposing to build the Spring Creek Municipal Transformer Station (MTS) project. The project consists of constructing a new transformer station connecting to existing 230 kilovolt (kV) transmission circuits, which will service the Niagara Region.
The project is in the Town of Lincoln on Spring Creek Road between Mountain Road and Frost Road, adjacent to an existing Hydro One Networks Inc. (Hydro One) Right of Way.

Environmental Screening Process
The electricity needs of the Niagara Region are growing. The proposed Spring Creek MTS is NPEI’s response to this need, providing increased electrical capacity and resiliency to the Lincoln, West-Lincoln and Grimsby areas.
The project has undergone an Environmental Screening under the Class Environmental Assessment for Transmissions Facilities (Class EA). As part of this process, technical studies have been completed to confirm the scope and extent of the project's potential environmental effects and evaluate them against the screening criteria within the Class EA process. This process determined that the proposed project satisfies the screening requirements.

Public Meeting
NPEI is committed to engaging with the public and other interested parties throughout the project. We invite you to attend an upcoming public meeting to learn more about the screening process and provide feedback. A presentation will take place at 2:30 p.m. with a question and answer period to follow.
Date: Nov. 20, 2024
Location: Fleming Memorial Arena, 5020 Serena Dr., Beamsville, ON, L0R 1B8
Time: 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.
